The HOusatOnicR Road.

The recent action of the Housatonic road in increasing its capital stock so as to convert it's obligations is said to be void through neglect of the statute. In 1870 the company obtained a charter amendment allowing it to increase its capital stock. But in 1878 an act was passed which annulled all previous legis lation and charter amendments as to in- crease of capital and provided that such increase should be made only after application to the railroad commission CTS, explaining all the circumstances, the commissioners then to make find ing of the facts and report to the next legislature, with & recommendation for or against the increase and as to its manner no increase to be made except after such favorable report.

Comrade A V. Richards, Past Commander
Hyde Clark Post, Dubuque, Iowa, has devised
q new GAR. button TO take the place of the
present one. which he thinks is too likely to be
confused with the badge of the Knights of La
Dor. His button is like the present button, ex-
cept that the interior of the star is cut out SO
as 20 show a color underneath. This color will
indicate the arm of the service to which a com.
rade belonged. That is: yellow for cavalry
crimson for artillery. and blue for infantry

There Is one branch of stock raising
which is not by any means oycrdonc and
that is the raising of mules. As the scope
of agricultural country in the United
States increases, the greater the demand
for animals suited for draft purposes,
and it i an acknowledged fact that in
many sections the mule has rs many
friends rs the horse for this object The
great arguments in favor of mules are
their hardness, endurance and the ease
with which they can be sold.
A kentucky breeder, who has been en-
gagged in raising mules for thirty years,
makes the following suggestions; The
raising of mules in Kentucky or the west
Is not profitable unless the animals pro-
duCed he of good siZc-say from fourteen
and one half to fifteen and Onc-half hands
high. The best jacks for this class OF
mules are not less than fifteen hands. The
dams are of equal Importance and should
DE improved blooded mares. Mules from
such crosses are the best seen in Kentucky
and always command good price. The
most important improvement in jacks IN
the state of Kentucky was through the
introduction of the well known Spanish
jacks Mammoth and Warrior. These were
imported from Spain between the years
1885 and 1870 These jacks, at date OF
arrival, were valued at, and cost, $1,000
each, and were full sixteen hands high.
As breeders, they were remarkably fine,
and greatly improved the size of the jack
stock by crossing ON the common jennct
of Kentucky Later importations from
the same source made additional improve
ments, but none so decided as the two
above named.
According to estimates made by the
United States agricultural department, the
state la which mules rate highest is New
Jersey, the next highest being in
Maryland. Texas has the greatest num-
Der OF any state, and the animals are val
ued at lower priceless than onc-half
the average value in New Jersey, for in
stance Kentucky and Missouri show up
well in this industry,
The prejudice against the mule is an
unjust one. For farm work and road
lniling it exceeds all other animals; II is
more economical. is stronger, harder,
never gets sick, and, according to old
traditions, never dies.
